Example 1: javascript capitalize words
//capitalize only the first letter of the string.
function capitalizeFirstLetter(string) {
return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
}
//capitalize all words of a string.
function capitalizeWords(string) {
return string.replace(/(?:^|\s)\S/g, function(a) { return a.toUpperCase(); });
};
Example 2: javascript capitalize first letter
const lower = 'this is an entirely lowercase string';
const upper = lower.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + lower.substring(1);
Example 3: js first letter to uppercase
function capitalizeFirstLetter(name) {
return name.replace(/^./, name[0].toUpperCase())
}
Example 4: javascript capitalize first letter of each word
// includeAllCaps is optional and defaults to false
// if includeAllCaps is set to true, it will Title Case words with all capital letters
// includeMinorWords is optional and defaults to false
// if includeMinorWords is set to true, it will minor words in the middle of the string
